Winch Mounting Question

BrownBeard · Dec 23, 2009

I did a search and haven't found anything about winches and stock bumpers, so here's the question.

Is there a way to mount a winch behind the bumper? If a Hidden Winch kit is available for a Bronco II, I would love it. But, I have yet to find one.
Would it be more cost effective than buying or building a whole new bumper?
I'm on a fairly tight budget and I want to avoid McGuyvering as much as possible.

Thanks, everyone

I did this one a while back and I like it but it took a ton of Mac Gyvering. It has a 2" body lift and the big thing was I took out the lower radiator brace built a new brace out of angle iron that goes straight across instead of dropping down and coming back up.The winch is setting on a 3/16" plate that bolts to the lower rail of the frame.The focus at the time was not to change my approach angle without putting the winch in front of the radiator.It used to heat up in the snow or long slow 4x4 type hills put the big radiator solved that.
